Introduction
Professional communication refers to the encompassing the written, digital, written and oral
communication within the context of the workplace. With the help of these professional
communications, communication can be made very effective in the business world. Through this
presentation, the significance of professional communication in graduate recruitment in the field
of management will be depicted. The importance of the different types of communication such as
written, non-verbal, and digital communication will be made.
Introduction of first communication type
According to Rousseau, et, al, (2017), non-verbal communication includes gestures, body
position, facial expressions, along with the unspoken presuppositions and understandings. A
better perspective can be established on the sent message. There is the immense necessity of the
non-verbal communication which will be discussed further. The performance of the job and
employees can increase due to the effective non-verbal communication of the message and ideas
(Rousseau, et. al., 2017).
Non-verbal communication
Non-verbal communication refers to that aspect of communication in which the focus is on facial
expressions, gestures, and body language. It helps in maintaining the interpersonal relationship
and through the use of interpersonal attitudes, and emotions expression more effectively the
communication can be made in the management and the organization (Timmermann, et. al.,
2017).
Significance of Non-verbal communication in the recruitment
It is considered as very effective measure at the time of the recruitment process as the candidate's
expressions, body language, gestures, and postures are analyzed by the recruiter which show
their confidence. The people’s eye contact and diverse physical posture are also taken into
1

consideration. The appearance of the candidate matters and the level of interest are shown
through their positive reactions (Friedman, 2019).
Preview
Non-verbal communication is a very effective form of communication and has great significance
in the recruitment process. But there are some for the issues with this type of communication.
The communication can get affected due to attention, interest lacking and distractions. There can
be misunderstanding sometimes in getting the message, postures, and expressions through which
the whole communication can get failed. The long message cannot be communicated through
this (Franchini, et, al., 2018).
Conclusion of non-verbal communication
The non-verbal communication is very easy to present by making use of silent, audio-visual, and
visual means. It plays a crucial role in the recruitment process but many of the problems occur
with this communication as it results in creating the barrier in message communication. The
presentation will further discuss the written communication, its definition and relevance of it in
recruitment process and organization (Ilinska, et. al, 2016).
